hello all
A relatively quick one today, i have a detox drink waiting and then an appointment to have some shirts made. however, an interesting bit of learning yesterday which i wanted to share.
at this point most people are very comfortable with one another, the common experience is one that binds. so much so that an aussie guy was telling me what he managed to ‘pass’ yesterday, and then whippped out the photos to demonstrate… quite amazing.
a gristly tube, about half an inch in diameter, and 2.5 ft long. enormous! he even put one of his shoes next to it in the photo so you could get a sense of scale. after some investigation it appears that this is an accumulation of undigested foods that accrues over years and sticks in your gut, making it hard to digest subsequent food and trapping things as they try and slip by. there are a number of cuplrits, but dairy-lovers beware as this is one of teh principal offenders. Some of you may know already but apparently the pasteurising process on milk changes its molecular structure and leaves it incredibly hard for us to fully digest. so all those milk products cause a big problem in the tubing after. the solution is soya milk and goats cheese only.
I am both intrigued and appalled by this. i had always known that dairy wasn’t the greatest, the difference now is i have seen what it produces, and damn it isn’t pretty. no doubt i shall continue to feast on cheese and port when i get home (no rash commitments in the heat of the moment from me!), but perhaps a little less frequently?
for now, there is an unspoken sense of competition emerging between a few people here. i for one am keen to trump this feat by producing something even darker and larger myself. i’m confident that years of indulgence will have left something like the kraken in me, whether i can tempt it out into the open remains to be seen. i shall try my hardest friends! whether i will photo any big catches and post remains to be seen, but soon this blog may get an 18+ rating.
love to one and all
My standard Starbucks order is a “Grande Skimmed Latte”. This doesn’t contain any words actively referencing dairy or cows, which I think means I’m safe.
Yay me!
Robin,
You, or maybe your fellow non-diners, should be made aware of the winner of the 2006 Darwin awards, details below. Please ensure that no similar fate befalls any of you.

Overzealous zookeeper Friedrich Riesfeldt (Paderborn, Germany) fed his constipated elephant Stefan 22 doses of animal laxative and more than a bushel of berries, figs and prunes before the plugged-up pachyderm finally let it fly, and suffocated the keeper under 200 pounds of poop!
Investigators say ill-fated Friedrich, 46, was attempting to give the ailing elephant an olive oil enema when the relieved beast unloaded on him. “The sheer force of the elephant’s unexpected defecation knocked Mr. Riesfeldt to the ground, where he struck his head on a rock and lay unconscious as the elephant continued to evacuate his bowels on top of him” said flabbergasted Paderborn police detective Erik Dern. “With no one there to help him, he lay under all that dung for at least an hour before a watchman came along, and during that time he suffocated.”
